📍Rome , Italy 🇮🇹 💡Interesting facts : 🔸The Colosseum was built between 72 A.D and 80 A.D under the Emperor Vespasian, in the heart of Ancient Rome. 🔸 The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater (meaning “theatre in the round”) in the world! Oval in shape, it measures 189m long, 156m wide and 50m high (about the height of a 12 storey building). This ancient sporting arena could easily fit a modern day football pitch inside! 📷: @rik_berto Follow @citybestviews for the best urban photo👆

Fausta was a model matron of her era. She was married to a pagan named Praetextatus, but pabtized her daughter (who later became pretty famous, known as ”St. Anastasia of Sirmium”) and secretly raised her with christian values. Fausta is one of the 140 Colonnade Saints which adorn St. Peter’s Square at Vatican City. She died in the 3rd century. (Feast Dec 19)

This year all the images of my Advent Calendar are drawings and scetches for my Saints Series 2018-19.

🇻🇦“It is believed that if you spend a minute looking at each painting in the Vatican museums, it would take you 4 years to see them all completely. 🔸Every inch of Rome seemed to be articulately placed. The architectural prowess the Romans display isn’t like anything in America. In America, where 98% of our architecture was built for mass production and capitalism, the right angles and lack of creativity becomes apparent what the goal was/is- making money, which is cool- if that’s your thing, but I’d prefer to expect a society where the art, buildings, & monuments took on a higher power form then capitalistic gains. It sets a precedent of respect and creativity-where even the idea of litter becomes unacceptable.” #tribal#worldly#recap#romeitaly#digitalnomadlifestyle#creativespaces#traveleducation
